The new rule at this weekend’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix will cause headaches🌠 to team bosses.

A 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:mandatory two pitstops has been imposed on every F1 team for the first time.

It means the normal strategy of a single pitstop at the noto🐲riously tight Monaco circuit is banned, and 🐟teams must rethink.

Sky Sports pitlane reported Ted Kravitz has pinpointed the team he thinks can get t🗹he best out of t𒆙his new rule.

“Whatever happens 🐟in the first laps to the second stops, won’t matter,” Kravitz predicted.

“Aཧll that will matter is what happens af🧔ter the second stops.

“Where 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aston Martin got it right, with strategy, particularly in qualifying at Imola, I ♍fancy that they might play this new regulation to th🌊eir advantage.

“They could end up on the podium.

“Considering how much bad luck 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso has had, until ❀this point, maybe he is due some good luck.”

Aston Martin unexpectedly qualified fifth and eighth 🌳last week in Imola ♋thanks to a bold tyre strategy.

Although they have been largely uncompetit𓂃ive this season, it was a ray of light which hinted at better days ahead.

Aston Martin are also buoyed by Adrian Newey who is at an F1 grand♏ prix wearing their colours for the first time.

Alonso was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:seventh in Friday practice, Lance Stroll 18th.

Dispute over ‘gimmick’ at F1 Monaco Grand Prix

There was disagreement o𒅌ver the FIA’s new rule💦 in Monaco.

Kravitz insis🐻ted he did not like it: “Not really. I think it’s an overreaction to last year which was an unusual event, with a red flag and nobody making a pitstop.

“It has a bit of artificiality about it. A bit of gimmicker☂y. Which I am not a fan of.

“But on the other hand, I think it will create a ver𓆏y interesting grand prix🙈.”

Jenson Button replied:🅰 “You could say that having one pit stop is gimmicky because they don’t have to stop.”

Kravitz said: “That’s true. The FIA have never ไ𒉰done this before.

“We’ve had ra🧸ces like Qatar in 2023 when teams had to make twಞo stops because of tyre wear.

“But they’ve ne🌳ver said ‘you must make two stops’ and made a rule of it.”

Button was the last F1 driꦬver to win the Monaco Grand Prix with a two-stop strategy, in 2009.

“I love it,” Button said about the new rule.

“It’s easy to make a mistake in this p𓄧itlane. It’s bigger than it used to be, but still it’s a small pitlane.

“I think it’s a good thing. You’ll still have peop🅺le stopping on Lap 1 to do their pitstop then joining the back of the train.

“It sp♑ices it up. It opens it up to different strategies.”

Martin B꧟rundle's view is: “Iﷺ like the idea, let’s give it a chance.

“Should it work on Sunday, it might ꩵnot work next year, because it depends on Safety Cars, red flags, whether they happen, wh꧙en they happen.

“I am surprised they have🔯n’t said ‘one of the pitstops must be in the first half of the race.

“If you’re at the back, d🍸o you go ‘Lap 1 pitstop, Lap 2 pitstop’ and sit and wait for your chance down the🦂 road.

“Will we see, at the end, the frontru𝓰nners hanging on and hanging on in case there’s a Safety Car, then pitting on the penultimate lap.

“But it does, without question, mean you cannot get out front, go aꦐround at Formula 2 pace, and hold eve꧟ryone up.”
